  School, religions and secularism: comparatist and interdisciplinary perspectives

  Cahiers de la recherche sur l'éducation et les savoirs (CRES) journal, theme issue no.21

  À l'échelle internationale, l’école est supposée respecter la dimension privée des élèves et de leurs familles, leurs croyances, leurs valeurs et leurs intérêts : c’est la dimension proprement libérale que l’on peut résumer par l’idéal de non-interférence (Pettit, 2004). D’autre part, l’école contribue à construire la dimension publique du/de la citoyen-ne : sans l’enseignement de certains principes et « valeurs » communes, il est difficile d’entretenir un mécanisme d’identification à la communauté politique. C’est pourquoi une tendance forte, politique mais aussi académique, consiste à promouvoir un « nationalisme libéral » (Miller et Gustavsson, 2020). Mais dans quelle mesure la valorisation de la nation peut-elle être libérale en terme de respect de la sphère privée des individus ? Ce dossier propose d'éclairer les tensions, débats et controverses qui procèdent de ces deux exigences scolaires potentiellement contradictoires.

  Internationalism(s) and education during the Cold War

  Actors, rivalries and circulations

  Not much research has been focused on educational internationalism, as it developed during the Cold War. Yet, this period provides an exceptional framework for understanding the evolution and metamorphosis of the processes of internationalization of knowledge and educational practices, whether in the school sphere or in the extra-curricular environment. Driven by a multitude of national, international, and imperial actors, these are articulated through the ideological confrontation between the blocs of the East and the West, but also through the challenges posed by European integration, decolonization, the emergence of "third worldism" and the attempts to regulate international relations (maintenance of peace and security, etc.). Therefore, the aim of this conference is to lay the foundations for a global history of educational internationalism, tracing its forms, its trajectories (North-South, East-West, South-South), as well as its impact on the political framework and the balance of power determined by the “global Cold War”.

  Replaying Japan, 2020

  Ludolympics 2020 – The 8th International Japan Game Studies Conference

  This year’s conference theme will be “Ludolympics 2020”. Particular attention will therefore be paid to the relationship between games and sport in Japan, to the Japanese esport scene and its cultural specificities and to competitive video game practices, but also, more generally, to the notion of video game performance and to the mediatization or spectacularization of this performance. Through the prism of this theme, fundamental aspects of games and play will be questioned: the physicality of the playing practices, the place of competition in Japanese game culture, the role of rules and conventions in games and play, as well as the possibilities of bypassing these rules (through cheating, for instance) or the spaces of appropriation that they allow (visible in the amateur practices, fan creations or doujin circles, among others).
